    water supply in detached shop

    Except, isn't there a check valve at the expansion tank? Meaning, the pressure switch at the house wouldn't recognize the pressure drop?

    water supply in detached shop

    Just finished mine this evening, ran one right out side the house, the other into the building. It's the only way to fly, might as well run a drain line while you're in there.

    Cost for the concrete of a 30x40 building?

    I'm going to spend around $4,500 for 32X50 X 5" ($1,200 labor to pour and finish). I am doing all the prep other than the forms, no wire, just stealth fiber.

    Another "what wire size" thread (sorry)

    No and No. I have a 140K BTU oil fired Modine ceiling mount going in, it draws 10 FL amps. Water heater if there ever was to be one would be a tiny on-demand unit for the sink, doubtful that will ever happen though.

    Another "what wire size" thread (sorry)

    1) Yes 2) can, would rather not, but will if necessary. 3) No, probably DON'T need that much, I am very conservative with my consumption, will be installing T-8 fixtures, my compressor is relatively small, ~15 FLA. 4) Compressor, probably 120V mig, lift, not much else, commercial garage door...

    Another "what wire size" thread (sorry)

    I have a 130 foot run, looking to put a 100 amp service in my new pole building. Only about 24' of it is underground, the rest will be run in my basement. I have 2" conduit going in the ground tomorrow morning. I've read a lot about this quadplex, 2-2-2-6 (or whatever). Would that work for...

    If you were building a 20x24 detached what would you add????

    I would add 8' in one direction and 6 in the other. Size matters, no matter how big you build it, but 20X24 seems quite small.

    "Roll Up" doors, Janus brand?

    Well, that isn't exactly a rave review. Although, I would ultimately look to the installer on those issues, as they were the ones that really sold you the door. The price seems very fair (as long as the quality is there).

    20 lb propane tanks

    Honestly, I haven't seen a scale used in three years. Since they came out with the OFPD, there is no need for it. Fill it up till liquid liquid comes out the breather.

    Must have hit the zero key too many times inadvertently.

    20 lb propane tanks

    If you have a "Flying J" truck stop around you, they charge by the gallon (the only way anyone should be. It's up pretty high now, I think just under $3.00 a gallon, still only $13.00 for a 20lb. cylinder near me.

    How many of you have a pee funnel in your garage?

    In our last house I installed a urinal in the detached 3 car. $180.00 from Lowes, done deal. People got a kick out of it too, was well worth the money.

    "Roll Up" doors, Janus brand?

    Can you tell me which model (ie, 1000I, 2000I or a wind rated door)? Also, did you install yourself? As Bigdav stated, I am really considering this route for two reasons, cost is one. The other is the fact that I hate to put up a building with a 14' eve, then have a monster door hanging at...

    "Roll Up" doors, Janus brand?

    It is a R-14 steel backed (like a freezer panel, injected foam) panelized door, two 12X24 windows. Same door totally uninsulated was going to run $1,800 a piece, same company.

    Blasting media

    I pay .06 per pound (in 3000lb totes). Comes out to around $2,900 for a full truck including all the fees for pallets and sacks. Full flatbed tractor trailer will hold 14-15 pallets, (14 legally). So, 44K lbs, less than $3grand and it's lasts me around 3 months. I gave a buddy of mine two...
